  1. Entry 62 -- Brooklyn, The Beginning

    mrsmartman commented on The British Sausage's City Journal Entry in My SC4 CJ Scrapbook

    The physical conditions of housing stocks vary across neighbourhoods. For example, the brownstones in Brooklyn Heights near Downtown Brooklyn are more valuable than the tenements in Harlem of Upper Manhattan. The better residential apartments in Manhattan are generally newer art deco buildings like those in Upper East Side as most of the remaining older buildings in Manhattan are tenements. Fewer old buildings are demolished in urban rewewal projects in Brooklyn.

  19. 1970s New York City

    mrsmartman commented on korver's City Journal Entry in True Earth

    NYC was gritty in the 70s. Brick and mortar buildings were more visible. The city had a stronger architectural identity in the old days.
